USPS Passport Acceptance: Who Qualifies and What You Get

This service allows you to submit your passport application in person at a post office location. It is designed to help you manage the physical submission of your identity documents and application forms.

👤Who it's for

This service is specifically for passport applicants. If you are applying for a new passport or need to complete the necessary paperwork for your travel documents, you can use this service to ensure your application is handled by a postal worker.

🎁What you get

When you use this service, you receive in-person application processing. This means a representative at the post office will assist with the physical act of receiving and processing your passport application. This is a key step for those who need a government-issued identity document for international travel.

💰What it costs you

There is a $35 execution fee for this service. This fee is paid to the post office for the work involved in processing your application. Please note that this is a separate cost from any other government fees you may be required to pay for the actual passport itself.

⚠️The catch to know

The most important thing to remember is that appointments are required at most locations. Because these offices can be busy, you should not simply show up expecting to be seen immediately. It is highly recommended that you check your local post office's requirements beforehand to ensure you are able to be seen.
